Chapter One

    A Common Thread

    Now as we embark on a new period in our lives
    Together, I realize all over again how very lucky
    I am to have you in my life. Little things we share
    Like a conversation just between us or a moment
    When we're all alone just sitting on the couch
    Taking in some music or a movie remind me just
    How wonderful our Tyme is when it's just us
    Enjoying them. We've been through so much
    Together these past few years that I am reminded
    Just how magnificent our relationship really is.
    We have weathered some rough spots and enjoyed
    Many a special quiet moments too, but the common
    Thread to all of our moments together is that we
    Have made it through the tough Tymes and enjoyed
    All of the great ones by just ourselves being us.
    There are so many things that I feel I need to tell
    You but let me start by saying how proud of you
    I am to have for my partner. You make everything
    That we enjoy or endure memorable to say the
    Least. I couldn't imagine spending my life with
    Anybody else nor would I want to. It is that
    Common factor of 'you' that makes 'us' so very
    special and rewarding. Thank you for choosing
    Me as your life partner. We've been through many
    Years together ... here's to many more happy ones
    In the future.


    Afternoon Nap

    She washes her whiskers with dainty paws,
    She washes her fur as she goes. Carefully
    She sees to it that her entire body is cleaned
    Before she is through. Her tiny pink tongue
    Washes her face and ears as she continues
    Her duty before her she does so without a
    Sound. Just as quietly as she began her task
    She finishes and turns to look around her
    Then softly yawns and curls back up into
    A smaller version of herself. But before
    She can fall asleep she take notice of all
    In the space around her, then carefully she
    Falls gently back to sleep for the rest of


    Aimee

    Your rambunctious ways always keeps me entertained.
    Your cute and cuddly little face always makes me smile.
    Your tiny wiggly tail always catches my eye and makes
    Me wonder just what you've been up to. The way that
    You wash yourself a half a dozen Tymes a day makes
    Me envious of your cleanliness. But most of all your
    Beautiful little green eyes make me glad to have you
    For my friend, for they always cheer me up when I'm
    Feeling down and low. You are my special furry friend
    Who snuggles up next to me when I'm lying alone in
    Bed and makes me feel especially Loved, for you depend
    On me for your well being. No matter how I let myself
    Get out of touch with reality you always keep me well
    Grounded with the fact that you need me for food, water
    Shelter and Love. I need you for the playful enthusiasm
    That you always share with me. You are a special friend
    that I need indeed.


    All Alone

    SomeTymes when I'm all alone at night, I start to
    Think about the days when I was young ... days in
    My life when I just longed to have a good friend
    In my life, someone to trust in, someone to believe
    In and someone to Love. The days without you
    In my life were oh, so long and lonely. Then when
    You came into my life I realized how important
    Real Love really is. It's strange how everything
    Came together the day you walked into my life.
    First, I found my best friend, a friend I could
    Care for and someone who needed me just as
    Much as I needed them, maybe even more. But
    Most of all it was someone that I could always
    Have faith that if I trusted in, it would be Tyme
    Well spent. Second of all, I needed someone in
    My life that I could believe in ... that was you, no
    Bells and no whistles, just you. Someone that
    I could believe in and someone who believed in
    Me. Finally, I needed someone to Love ... not just
    Care for me, but someone who I adored and Loved
    Just the way you are. I always knew that it would
    Be someone special, I just never knew it was even
    Possible to have that person be my best friend as
    Well as the person I would call my Lover. God
    Blessed you and I the day we found each other.
    Thank heavens he put us together where and
    When he did, a Tyme when both of us were just
    Looking for that someone special to trust in, to
    Believe in and to Love.


    Another Day

    Today is just a low down day, a day when nothing
    Seems to go right, a day when everything is just
    Shades of gray. No there isn't any color to be
    Found today. Today is a day when you're better
    Off spending it all alone rather than trying to keep
    Up with all of the joy that all others are experiencing.
    So stick to yourself and pray that it is only one day
    And not more. It is okay to cry on a down low day.
    It is okay to feel sad and blue, because nothing is
    Going to change the day back to a day of laughter
    And fun. So just sit back and let the day happen
...
